Support the Warriors Pearl Foundation by purchasing products at the shop

Who Is Warriors Pearl You Ask?

Warriors Pearl is a small company start-up over at Cafe Press, in the Denny Lyon Gifts store. After viewing an NBC News with Brian Williams segment in 2012 detailing their lives, this store was created to raise funds and awareness for raped military women who found themselves homeless. The Pentagon still refuses to give the victims justice, protecting the guilty, doing little to nothing to address homelessness and medical needs. It's a national shame.

I'm a hybrid journalist-blogger which befuddles the publishing and journalism industries that are in serious flux these days - OK, the publishing houses have been melting down. What is not to understand? Time to rock on and catch up with the fast moving times. Hmmm... maybe I have Tiger or Dragon blood after all. :)
